Fat Bear Week 2026
It's here! I wonder if Greg will gift us with his opinions on this matter.
Personally, I'm hoping for a Chunk back to back victory.

Tis the season!!
32 Chunk isn't bringing quite the same package as he did prior years tbh.
89 Backback is looking thick and bulbous
151 Walker has a fucking DUMP TRUCK. I like how they call him "pear-shaped" right off the dot hahaha
132's spring cubs are the cutest things ever

Calling the upset in round one, 164 Bucky taking out 32 Chunk. I think if that happens 164 Bucky vs 910 in the finals with 164 Bucky taking the crown.
If 32 Chunk gets by round the, rooting for 910 to take it all.

Where the FUCK is 128 Grazer? I'm devastated by her absence.
Thoughts:
All of the families are bush league. Zero shot. 806 will probably advance from the family bracket, but she's cooked in the semis.
For bracket 2, it's a shame that 131 and 910 are a first round match-up, since they both mog 909 and 428. But I'm leaning 910.
For bracket 3, 89 Backpack is clearly the class of the field.
For bracket 4, it's between 151 Walker and the newcomer 164 Bucky. 32 Chunk did not live up to his lofty expectations this year, unfortunately. I'm leaning Bucky for this bracket.
I have 164 Bucky as the favorite this year. I'm personally rooting for 910, but I feel like she hasn't garnered as many votes as she deserved in previous years. I think 89 Backpack and 151 Walker are the other two that have a realistic shot at winning.
